Research

An algorithm can be described as a firmly defined, finite procedure that is suitable for solving a problem - or even shorter: as a calculation rule. Inter alia, algorithms are used to transfer decision-making processes to computers. Often, the resulting software offers more efficient strategies than human beings. This is why, with the spread of particularly powerful processors, algorithms have become increasingly relevant. As a result, they represent one of the cornerstones of digitization.
For the economy, digitization is accompanied by great potential - for jurisprudence, it brings challenges at various levels. In particular, legal provisions tailored to human actions and physical products are reaching their limits.
The Assistant Professorship for Civil Law and the Law of the Algorithm-driven Economy accompanies these transformation processes in teaching and research. Specifically, current research projects focus on Sec. 327 et seq. BGB (German Civil Code) as well as the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act.
